Simon Peter saith unto him, “Lord, whither goest thou?”

Jesus answered, “Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow afterwards.”

And Jesus saith unto them, “All ye shall be offended:  for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad.  Howbeit, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.”

But Peter said unto him, “Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.”

And Jesus saith unto him, “Verily I say unto thee, that thou to-day, even this night, before the cock crow twice, shalt deny me thrice.  Simon, Simon, behold Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat:  but I make supplication for thee, that thy faith fail not:  and do thou, when once thou hast turned again, establish thy brethren.”

But he spake vehemently, “If I must die with thee, I will not deny thee.”  And in like manner also said they all.

And he said unto them, “When I sent you forth without purse, and wallet, and shoes, lacked ye anything?”

And they said, “Nothing.”

And he said unto them, “But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a wallet; and he that hath none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.  For I say unto you, that this which is written must be fulfilled in me, ‘And he was reckoned with transgressors’:  for that which concerneth me hath fulfillment.”

Thomas saith unto him, “Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how know we the way?”

Jesus saith unto him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life:  no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.  If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also:  from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.”

Philip saith unto him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.”

Jesus saith unto him, “Have I been so long time with you, and dost thou not know me, Philip?  He that hath seen me hath seen the Father:  how sayest thou, ‘Show us the Father?’ Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?  The words that I say unto you I speak not from myself:  but the Father abiding in me doeth his works.  Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me:  or else believe me for the very works’ sake.  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also:  and greater works than
